  1. The Burden

Brittle

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, I will teach you what is brittle and what is not brittle.

Listen …

And what is brittle? What is not brittle?

Form is brittle,

but its cessation, settling, and ending is not brittle.

Feeling …

perception …

choices …

consciousness is brittle,

but its cessation, settling, and ending is not brittle.”
